So it was hard to leave.
I love the team, basically.
But
Yeah, I think, actually, I would be potentially interested in revisiting it, maybe coming back at some point, working in Optimus, working in AGI at Tesla.
I think Tesla is going to do incredible things.
It's basically like, it's a massive, large-scale robotics kind of company with a ton of in-house talent for doing really incredible things.
And I think...
Human robots are going to be amazing.
I think autonomous transportation is going to be amazing.
All this is happening at Tesla.
So I think it's just a really amazing organization.
So being part of it and helping it along, I think was very... Basically, I enjoyed that a lot.
Yeah, it was basically difficult for those reasons because I love the company.
But I'm happy to potentially at some point come back for Act 2.
But I felt like at this stage...
I built the team, it felt autonomous, and I became a manager and I wanted to do a lot more technical stuff.
I wanted to learn stuff.
I wanted to teach stuff.
And I just kind of felt like it was a good time for a change of pace a little bit.
Yeah, I don't love that movie.
